Human Whole Genome Sequencing in South Africa

2020-06-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The advent and evolution of next generation sequencing has considerably impacted genomic research. Until recently, South African researchers were unable to access affordable platforms capable of human whole genome sequencing locally and DNA samples had to be exported. Here we report the whole genome sequences of the first six human DNA samples sequenced and analysed at the South African Medical...
